      “Among the stars” might suggest it’s very much not cold. You’re in a stellar nursery.

      I had a manager tells me this once. It was literally written on the mug he was drinking out of at the time. I remember feeling so valued and inspired.

    Who are these people who cross out two letters of a cussword worried about? Everyone can still read this and all it does is make the edit look like someone is a pearl clutcher.

      It’s typically for posting to platforms that “deprioritise” posts that contain “naughty” words, not actually anything about humans caring about it.

    Ya but the moon covers at best only about 10 ppm of the sky’s area so given a random direction within the hemisphere defined by the sky in which the moon is visible and traveling in a straight line you have a roughly 99.9990% chance of missing so that’s understandable really.

    You could fit every planet in the Solar System between Earth and our moon simultaneously.

      I have a feeling we would have a lot of problems if you did though.

        It’s definitely not recommended by the few cosmology sources I’ve read.

      Fuck you for making me look this up. Only Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune would fit together. Venus, Mars, and Mercury are too much.

        Depends on which part of the orbit. Perigee (closest point) is ~ 354,491 km surface to surface. Apogee (farthest point) is ~ 397,291 km surface to surface. At Apogee you could got them all. At perigee not at all.

    Aim for the ground, if you miss that, just give up

    source

      Disagreed. If you miss, take advantage and continue missing

    The moon takes up only around 0.00077% of the visible area of the sky. That’s a pretty small target.

    source
    • GottaHaveFaith@fedia.io ⁨10⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Also it moves at 1 km/s around its orbit

        So you have almost an hour before it passes you. Easy mode.

    Make sure to lead your shot. At Apollo velocities, you’ll need to aim where the moon will be at in three days, not where it is right now.

    source
    • IrateAnteater@sh.itjust.works ⁨12⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Why limit yourself to Apollo velocities? We’re trying to shoot the moon, not land in it.

    Actually it makes more sense to state the moons solid angle in the sky from where I’m standing, instead of its surface area ☝️🤓

      That’s relative.

    Shoot for the moon. If you miss, you’re now in orbit, and that was almost certainly the goal anyway
